  • The stud bolt is one of crucial parts for safe operation of reactor vessels in nuclear power plants, Crack initiation and propagation were reported in stud bolts that arc used for closure of reactor vessel and head, Stud bolts are inspected by ultrasonic technique during overhaul periodically for the prevention of stud bolt failure which could induce radioactive leakage from nuclear reactor, In conventional ultrasonic testing for inspection of stud bolts, cracks are detected by using shadow effect It takes too much time to inspect stud bolts by using conventional ultrasonic technique. In addition, there were numerous spurious signals reflected from every oblique surfaces of thread, In this study, the signal processing technique for enhancing conventional ultrasonic technique was introduced for inspecting stud bolts. The signal processing technique provides removing spurious signal reflected from every oblique surfaces of thread and enhances detectability of defects. Detectability for small crack was enhanced by using this signal processing in ultrasonic inspection of stud bolts in Nuclear Power Plants.

  • The aim of this study was to recycle the waste livestock blood as one of the waste biomass by turning proteins, the main constituent of blood, into effective biological resources like amino acid. Ultrasonic technology was applied to solubilize the proteins in the waste livestock blood. And of the multiple ultrasonic frequencies tested, 20 kHz was confirmed to yield the highest solubilization rate. The optimum pretreatment conditions were determined to be 30-min treatment at an ultrasonic irradiation density of 0.5 W/mL, which resulted in a solubilization rate of 96.01%. Also, a gel permeation chromatography (GPC) confirmed that a large amount of proteins were solubilized, and in an experiment where ultrasonic treatment was applied to kill bacteria, death rates of general bacteria and total coliforms were found to be reduced by 99.93% and 100%, respectively. Based on these results, ultrasonic technology was confirmed to be a crucial part of treating and recycling the proteins in waste livestock blood.

  • 원자력 발전소 설비의 건전성 확인을 위해서 주기적일 초음파탐상검사가 수행되고 있다. 수동 초음파탐상검사는 검사자의 경험 및 현장여건에 따라 균일한 검사 품질에 영향을 주게 되나, 자동 초음파탐상검사는 스캐너의 적용으로 검사 결과의 일관성을 유지하고, 디스크에 저장된 검사결과는 제3자에 의한 검토가 가능하다. 국내 원자력발전소에서 사용 중인 상용 초음파검사 시스템은 장비 구매, 교육 및 교정 등을 해외에 의존하고 있는 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 초음파 하드웨어, 배관 스캐너 및 초음파검사 프로그램(SonicWizard)으로 구성된 초음파검사 시스템을 개발하였다. 개발된 시스템의 검증을 위해 원전 배관 용접부의 자동 초음파검사 기량검증을 응시하여 인증을 획득하였으며, 현장 배관 감육 자동 초음파검사를 수행하여 정확한 감육상태를 확인함으로써 개발된 자동 초음파검사 시스템의 유효성을 확인하였다.

  • Application of bonding by adhesives can be found in many industries, particularly in advanced technological domains such as aeronautical and space, automobile and electronics industries. Periodic inspection with conventional ultrasonic NDE techniques is capable of indicating the presence and possible location of crack. Continuous ultrasonic attenuation monitoring has potential to supply information. This article discusses the use of pulse-echo ultrasonic testing for the inspection of adhesive bonds between metal sheets. The method is based on the measurement of the reflection coefficient at the metal/adhesive interface. By means of a control experiment it is shown that Quantitative Nondestructive Evaluation in Adhesive Joints are evaluated together with Ultrasonic Testing and Fracture Testing.

  • 본 연구에서는 초음파실험을 통하여 카올린 점토 시료의 초음파 전파 속도와 감쇠특성을 조사하였다. 슬러리 압밀 방법을 이용하여 이산구조와 면모구조를 갖는 두 종류의 카올린 점토를 인공적으로 제작하였다. 초음파를 이용하여 각 구조를 가진 점토의 압축파 속도 및 감쇠 거동을 측정하였다. 측정시 가진 주파수, 시료 길이, 측정 방향 등을 변화시키며 그에 대한 영향을 조사하였다. 실험 결과 전파속도는 같은 압축 응력 조건에서 제작된 본 시료의 경우 미세구조의 영향이 크지 않았으나 감쇠 특성은 미세구조의 영향이 큰 것으로 나타났다.

  • Ultrasonic spectroscopy is likely to become a very powerful NDE method for detection of microfects and thickness measurement of thin film below the limit of ultrasonic distance resolution in the opaque materials, provides a useful information that cannot be obtained by a conventional ultrasonic measuring system. In this paper, we considered a thin film below the limit of ultrasonic distance resolution sandwitched between two substances as acoustical analysis model, demonstrated the usefulness of ultrasonic spectroscopic analysis technique using information of ultrasonic frequency for measurements of thin film thickness, regardless of interference phenomenon and phase reversion of ultrasonic waveform. By using frequency intervals(${\triangle}f$) of periodic minima from the ratio of reference power spectrum of reflective waveform obtained a sample to power spectrum of multiple reflective waves obtained interference phenomenon caused by ultrasonic waves reflected at the upper and lower surfaces of a thin layer, can measured even dimensions of interest are smaller than the ultrasonic wave length with simplicity and accuracy.

  • Purpose: The purpose of this research is to improve the reliability of the composite material blades used for the wind power generator, by applying the phased array ultrasonic testing technique out of the many nondestructive test into the blades. Method: The wind power generation composite blades are used, as a case study, in order to evaluate the reliability of the phased array ultrasonic testing technique. Defects that are most likely occurred in the field are injected into the different locations of the three different types of artificial test pieces and then phased array ultrasonic testing technique are applied to evaluate the reliability of its effectiveness. Result: As a result of the analysis of the defect signals by applying the A scan and B scan simultaneously, depth and width of the defect could be obtained. An area of defect was proportional to the amount of energy by color in B scan image. The larger amount of energy, reflected amount of energy was appeared in the order of red, orange, yellow, blue color. Conclusion: The most reliable testing method to detect the defect in composite blades for wind power generation is considered to be the combination of the other destructive testing technique with the phased array ultrasonic testing since the PAUT alone could not detect all range of the defects in the blades.
